I found that ages for things is similar in Britain and Canada for most things.

I thought it was 16 as well, provided you have a parent or guardian sign for you.

I'm turning 17 soon and I have reasonably good job security. I pay for pretty much everything I have anyway (food, clothes, transportation, internet) so I figure I might as well have my own place too.
Before any of you question if I'll be making enough to hold an apartment I'm gonna look carefully for the cheapest I can, don't care how shitty it is so long as its up to health standards, and I'll have a roommate who works 24/7 so the bill is going to be split.

Be carefull if it is on the low side. You don't want to deal with cockroaches, bedbugs or crack addicts for neighbors.

thanks for the advice.
I have a bit of an aversion to poor neighborhoods, I'll keep that in mind when me and my roomy are checking places out.
